If you want to see skies with less haze, perhaps come visit Australia  |
I've just re read Eino Luukkanen's (Finnish ww2 ace) book, in one chapter he write about their trip to Germany (they went there to pick up Bf109s to Finland). Anyways, heres my bad translation from book but you probably get the point: "...we can only use compass to navigate correctly, especially because usual central-european haze makes horizontal visibility worse".
